So, I have an Omnia 7 and am really happy with it, I think it's a great phone with a great operating system, even if it is a phone that was launched in 2010, I think it is still modern and up to date.
Now, I bought a Nokia N9 and really liked the display and finishing materials so
I started thinking what could be if WP had it, then imagine what could
be Lumia 800...
Well, comparing both phones i check that:
3G Network Frequencies:
Lumia 800: HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100
Omnia 7: HSDPA 900 / 2100
Dimensions and Weight:
Lumia 800: 116.5 x 61.2 x 12.1 mm, 76.1 cc 142g
Omnia 7: 122.4 x 64.2 x 11 mm 138g
Display:
Lumia 800: AMOLED 16M colors 480 x 800 pixels, 3.7 inches (~252 ppi pixel density)
Omnia 7: Super AMOLED 16M colors 480 x 800 pixels, 4.0 inches (~233 ppi pixel density)
Camera:
Lumia 800: 8 MP, 3264x2448 pixels, Carl Zeiss optics, autofocus, dual-LED flash
Omnia 7: 5 MP, 2592 x 1944 pixels, autofocus, LED flash
Chipset, CPU and GPU:
Lumia 800: Qualcomm MSM8255 Snapdragon 1.4 GHz Scorpion Adreno 205
Omnia 7: Qualcomm QSD8250 Snapdragon 1 GHz Scorpion Adreno 200
Battery:
Lumia 800: Standard battery, Li-Ion 1450 mAh (BV-5JW)
Omnia 7: Standard battery, Li-Ion 1500 mAh
Well, i got this results and what i think that:
Lumia 800 wins in 3G network, camera and Chipset,CPU and GPU
Omnia 7 wins in display and battery
What u thinks guys? Does it worth changing? If anynone could help me with good facts, i really appreciate.
Thanks!
I have had an Omnia 7 since November 2010 - It's been great but I've had terrible network troubles since the Mango update.
I'm now due an upgrade and I think I will be going for the Lumia 800.
I was going to wait for the 900 but I really don't think I'd want anything bigger than the Omnia 7 which is already borderline in terms of size for me. The 800 is gorgeous in person and feels great in the hand. Plus Nokia seem to actually care about their users.

That's obviously a matter of personal preference and hand size.
I, for example, find 4.3 the ideal screen size, and some additional bulk does not bother me. Also, 900 does not use pentile, which is a big plus for me, since i read a lot on the phone.

I've never had an issue with the pentile display and I also read a lot on mine using the kindle app for example.

Well, it's not really THAT bad, but the text DOES look noticeably clearer on the RGB screen when you compare side by side.

Nokia Apps
I have omnia 7, too, and its great. I love the amoled display with its great colors, and that is the big difference entering the nokia and the samsung.
But Nokia provides some special apps like maps, drive and (new) public transport.
This might be an advantage if you dont plan to flash or unlock ur device...

the word upgrade for me should be if you buy a lumia 900 or htc titan
i don't even consider omnia W
I've just upgraded from Omnia 7 to Lumia 800.. the 3g issue finally got to me & then Samsung said 3 weeks to fix.. so purelygadgets had one at £340 (their service is great BTW & a UK spec as well).
The Lumia is a great upgrade I think..
Improvements:
the call quality is noticeably superior
Performance (90 vs 60 on WPBench);
the battery lasts 50-100% longer;
music (over BT at least)
Build quality
Camera - especially w/flash..
Nokia apps - Nokia Drive & Creative Studio especially.
Disadvantages
No Removable battery - sufficiently worried to go & buy an auxillary battery from Amazon for £20.
The screen is pretty equal - the better black of the Lumia vs the slightly bigger Sammy.
I have none of the reported issues - loose keys , poor battery poor Bass; perhaps that's because it's been out 6 months & they've sorted out the issues.
lastly its' obvious Nokia is much more committed to WP7 & phones in general - so will keep the phone updated with new features as they roll out..
I just want to know what do you want from your next wp8, describe it!
I start:
(Nokia)
4/4.3 inch display 16:9
Right now I have an one x and an iPhone, the one x is great for gaming/film but very hard to use with one hand while the iPhone screen is too small for anything.
Similar design to the lumia 800 just a little bit thinner.
An unibody made of metal(if is possible)instead of polycarbonate.
A little bit heavier, I know I'm strange ;P
2100mah battery or more.
An SLCD 2 @720p(or similiar) instead of an amoled I hate the oversatured colors.
A hard button(designed like the iPhone's one) instead of the 3soft key,I find it very useful for wake up the phone.
12mpx pureview camera(maybe I ask too much)
Better audio
An snapdragon s4 pro(with the adreno 320, doesn't matter if it is dual or quad.
And that's it.

I would buy a high end Wp8 immediatly if it is/has.
- Nokia
- Dual/Quad S4 with Adreno 320 GPU
- 4 > 4.7 inch CBD 720p Amoled Screen
- A good 8MP Camera (Hopefully with 20mp for oversampling/noise reduction and nice Pureview features like Zoom, Rich recording.)
- Nice design a la Lumia 800/900
- Superb music quality

Hi everyone...
I've 3 phones...
Xperia arc S
HTC one X
Samsung Galaxy Nexus
Now when i compare any 1080p movie from you tube at full HQ n full brightness of the respective phones ... this is what i noticed...
HTC one S has the best colour combinations contrast ratio n colours..... second cones Sony xperia arc S ... n lastly came the Samsung Galaxy nexus....
The display on GN was quite not satisfying.. I dont know why.. but there wasn't good colour contrast in it.... the colours weren't rich as the other two...
DO YOU THINK THIS WILL BE THE SAME CASE IN THIS NEXUS 4 ?
Please discuss this or lemme know coz yes.. I'm just one another person thinking to buy Nexus 4..

I was just about to post a similar thread. GNex had the PenTile arrangement of pixels, and a SuperAMOLED Display (which had defects and all). But the Nexus 4 has a totally different display technology. I hope someone will be able to explain the difference (as I don't exactly know the difference myself).
Look at the Anandtech review (scroll 3/4th of the way down). The Nexus 4 is looking to have the highest contrast display they've ever tested, even higher than the One X.
Nexus 4 brigthness: 285 cm/d²
Iphone 5 brightness : 480cm/d²
Galaxy s4 brightness : 294 cm/d²
I mean wtf an amoled beats an lcd on brightness , what is this sparta.

Your figures are from disparate sources with different equipment and testing methods.
The NotebookCheck S4 review used an XRite i1Pro 2, which yielded an average brightness of 300.6 nits. That same i1Pro 2 measured 436 nits on the Nexus 4.
Now that we have instrument parity from the same reviewers, we can begin telling OP to go home. Max brightness on either of these devices is bright enough to function in daylight. After that, it's a moot discussion.
Explain why having a brightness that exceeds the maximum necessity threshold and you will have a thread that didn't warrant immediate deletion. Otherwise, you're just a dumb kid who thinks that more megapixels makes better pictures; more higher gigahertz is always faster; a 128GB SSD is worse than a 2TB HDD and 16GB RAM makes your games run faster than 8GB.
TLDR; hamad138 is a bad troll, and dumb as rocks if he doesn't realize it at this point. This is the lowest denominator of trolling, and the last entertaining to boot.

I remember when they were doing tests against say a Galaxy Tab 2 7.0" and a Nexus 7, and even though the Nexus 7 was lower in cm/d, it "appeared" brighter (perhaps the contrast?). So can't really rely on numbers for everything.
Besides the iPhone 5 at max brightness appears washed out to me visually.
I really don't like the colour reproduction of my nexus 7... it's so dead and washed out, even worse than my ipad 2...
But one day I found a kernel for galaxy s3 that allows you to modify the colour reproduction level...
is there a such thing for nexus 7 as well???
thanks
